Ghana’s new Solar for Industries Project will serve as a key driver of the country’s 24-hour economy initiative and accelerate industrial growth, President John Dramani Mahama has declared.
He disclosed this at the sod-cutting ceremony for the Multi-purpose Solar Energy Project at the Dawa Industrial Park in Agortor on Thursday, November 6, 2025.
The facility, after completion, will provide clean, stable, and affordable electricity for manufacturing and export zones across the country.
President Mahama noted that the initiative is part of the government’s broader plan to expand access to renewable energy and promote sustainable industrialisation under the National Renewable Energy Master Plan.
According to him, the project will help the country achieve at least a 15% renewable energy share in the national energy mix.
He further revealed that the facility will provide a dedicated power supply to Ghana’s manufacturing and export zones.
“The Solar Industry Project, powered by PAC Solar, in partnership with Quam Investment, the International Finance Corporation, and with technical cooperation from the EPC contractors, who are Chinese, marks a significant shift towards renewable industrial energy,” President Mahama said.
“This facility will produce clean, stable, and affordable electricity dedicated to Ghana’s manufacturing and export zones, and this is the core of our 24-hour economy and our industrial recovery programme,” he added.
